🗑
Hypotonic   show
🗑
May produce formalin pigments   show
🗑
show Calcium formalin  
🗑
REcommended to fix and preserve phospholipids   show
🗑
37-40% formaldehyde, ammonium bromide, distilled water   show
🗑
acid in nature   show
🗑
show Formalin Ammonium Bromide  
🗑
Lyses RBC's   show
🗑
causes nuclei to give a positive schiff's reaction due to the feulgen hydrolysis fixation   show
🗑
37-40% Formaldehyde, Sodium acetate, distilled water   show
🗑
This is one of the better formaldehyde solutions to use if one does not want to use a buffered reagent   show
🗑
show 10% Neutralized formalin  
🗑
Solution becomes acidic after withdrawal from the storage bottle   show
🗑
show 10% Neutral Buffered formalin  
🗑
Recommended for routine formalin fixation   show
🗑
Hypotonic   show
🗑
pH is approximately 6.8   show
🗑
37-40% Formaldehyde, distilled water, sodium phosphate monobasic, sodium hydroxide   show
🗑
show Modified millonig formalin  
🗑
pH is around 7.2-7.4   show
🗑
has a dual purpose it can alsco act as a fixative for electron microscopy   show
🗑
show Modified millonig formalin  
🗑
37-40% formaldehyde, absolute ethyl alcohol, distilled water   show
🗑
show Alcoholic formalin  
🗑
Sodium phsophate monobasic, sodium hydroxide, distilled water, gluteraldehyde   show
🗑
Make up before using   show
🗑
Most frequently used as a fixative for electronmicroscopy as prolonged fixation hardens tissues (two hours or less)   show
🗑
is an aldehyde like formalin but it is a dialdehyde   show
🗑
show Gluteraldehyde  
🗑
preserves ultrastructure better than aldehydes   show
🗑
Tissues fixed with gluteraldehyde can not be used in stains that use schiff's reagent   show
🗑
show Mercuric chloride  
🗑
is not used alone but is used in compound fixative bcuz it is a very powerful protein coagulant and enhances staining by leaving the tissue very receptive to dyes   show
🗑
show Mercuric chloride  
🗑
show Mercuric chloride  
🗑
bcuz of hazards associated with it mercury has been replaced by zinc   show
🗑
show Osmium tetroxide  
🗑
show Osmium tetroxide  
🗑
show Osmium tetroxide  
🗑
show Osmium tetroxide  
🗑
only substance that is used as a fixative and a stain   show
🗑
coagulant fixative   show
🗑
strong enough acid to hydrolyze nucleic acid thereforeit can not be used to perform DNA and RNA stains   show
🗑
not a fixative of lipids or carbs   show
🗑
decalcify tissue with small calcium deposits such as breast   show
🗑
constituent of fixative for glycogen   show
🗑
wash out picric acid with 50% alcohol before processing   show
🗑
show Potassium dichromate  
🗑
show Potassium dichromate  
🗑
chromium will attach to some lipids rendering them inslouble but it does not preserve them   show
🗑
Preserves mitochondria but dissolves DNA   show
🗑
show Potassium dichromate  
🗑
show Zinc Salts  
🗑
show Zinc Salts  
🗑

🗑
show Compound fixative  
🗑
show Compound fixative  
🗑
show Compound fixative  
🗑
show Compound fixative  
🗑
Zenker and Helly   show
🗑
Orth   show
🗑
show Compound fixative  
🗑
Zinc formalin   show
🗑

🗑
picric acid(shrinking effect), 37-40% formaldehyde, glacial cetic acid(swelling effect)   show
🗑
lyses RBC and dissolves iron and small calcium deposits   show
🗑
show Bouin  
🗑
Preserves structures with soft and delicate textures   show
🗑
Formalin pigments can occur   show
🗑
show Gendre  
🗑
show Gendre  
🗑
Wash excess picric acid with 80% alcohol   show
🗑
Copper acetate, picric acid, 37-40% formaldehyde, distilled water   show

more widely used for GI tract bx   show
🗑
Mercuric chloride, potassium dichromate, sodium sulfate,distilled water   show
🗑
Zenker helly stock solution, Glacial acetic acid   show
